Borborygmos is an enormous cyclops from Ravnica. He was the largest and angriest of many large and angry Gruul clan leaders. Former guildmaster of the Gruul Clans, when he gave orders, the Gruul listened.[1]

Borborygmos lead the Burning Tree clan, which is the largest and most diverse of the Gruul Clans. For decades, he commanded the respect and obedience of the Gruul by defeating all who challenged him.[2] He embodied the raging fire that the Gruul believe burns in their bellies, and his wrath toward the civilization of Ravnica knew no bounds.

With Bolas' urging, the planeswalker Domri Rade challenged and defeated the ageing Borborygmos by setting waves of beasts on the cyclops. Borborygmos wasn't killed but lost the Gruuls' respect. He is now living as a Trog in the Rubblebelt.[3]
